Frequently Asked Questions

My laps aren't being recorded?

Make sure the desktop app is running and shows "Connected". Check that your telemetry path is correct and that Le Mans Ultimate is saving telemetry files.

Can I be in multiple teams?

Yes! You can join as many teams as you like. Each team has its own API key, so make sure you're using the key for the team you want to upload laps to.

How do I change teams in the desktop app?

Simply replace your API key with the key from your other team. Your laps will then upload to that team instead.

Is the app safe?

Yes! The app only reads telemetry files that Le Mans Ultimate creates. It doesn't modify any game files or interact with the game directly. The source code is open on GitHub.
